September Update :
Now got set lunch already plus with a new write up by one of the Borhochiak awarded lousy writers should have more people streaming in.
The thing about Straits Quay in general is,people just seem to want to wander around,gaze around and take pictures.The setting makes them afraid to spend their money.This is the same case scenario with Island Plaza.
Even their flea market is one of the most miserable ones around,apparently heard tru the grapevine that this due to the local staff that are very discriminatory towards our own locals just cos the boss is angmo kau.
The situation is so bad that one can even find a Kacang puteh seller hawking his wares in this posh looking place.
To throw their cash around happily,people hop into their cars and head to Gurney Plaza.
------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick round up
Cons
1. No set lunch compared to their town outlet
2. Big army of staff,miserable pockets of diners
3. Got tax here so will be more expensive than town
4. Food just as bor kau lak as their town outlet
5. Final bill can make your eye pop out and wonder if you are paying for their venture here
6. The Can never smile Rosie the taukeh soh comes out for some air every now and then(reminds me of a tilapia fish in a pond) like in the old outlet
Pros
1. Nice airy convent/missionary school classroom type setting
2. Nice ocean view
3. Pleasant nyonya uniforms on sweet young waitresses
4. Friendly service as usual from the head males
5. No restrictions on their menu offerings compared to their town outlet where fixed days are reserved for certain dishes
6. Better fixtures and interior decor
